🇧🇪 Bruges: The Fairytale of my Belgium Trip Part 4

My final stop in Belgium was Bruges, and without a doubt, it became my favorite city of the trip. With its cobblestone streets, medieval charm, and dreamy canals, Bruges felt like a storybook town come to life. 🏰 Stepping Into a Medieval Dream The moment I arrived, I knew Bruges was special. The Market Square, surrounded by colorful historic buildings and the towering Belfry of Bruges, was the perfect place to start exploring. The sound of horse-drawn carriages and the smell of fresh waffles in the air made it feel like a fairytale scene. 🚤 Canal Cruising Through History One of the best ways to take in Bruges is by boat, so I hopped on a canal tour. Drifting past stone bridges, ivy-covered houses, and hidden courtyards, I saw why Bruges is called the "Venice of the North." Every turn revealed something beautiful, making it one of the most magical travel experiences I've had. 🏛 Charming Streets & Secret Spots Bruges is perfect for wandering without a plan. I strolled through quiet streets, found hidden courtyards, and stopped by the peaceful Begijnhof, a centuries-old monastery that felt like a step back in time. 🍫 Waffles, Chocolate & Belgian Beer No visit to Belgium is complete without indulging in the local food, and Bruges was the best place for it. I treated myself to these in every city I visited in Belgium: 🍫 Handmade Belgian chocolates from a tiny family-run shop 🧇 A crispy, fresh waffle topped with warm chocolate 🍻 A stop at a historic beer café, where I tried Brugse Zot, the city's signature beer 🌙 The Magic of Bruges at Night As the sun set, Bruges became even more enchanting. The cobbled streets lit by lanterns, the reflection of the old buildings on the canals—it was pure magic. Bruges at night is peaceful, romantic, and surreal, making it the perfect ending to my Belgium adventure. Bruges truly stole my heart. If you ever visit Belgium, don’t skip this fairytale city! ✨🏰🚤 #bruges #fairytalecity #belgiumtravel #canalviews #wafflesandbeer #wanderlust
